Memo to self

Memo to self: bash profile is in /etc/profile. Not anywhere else, they don’t work. No idea why. But next time you need to alter your $PATH – it’s there.

    ~/.profile not working for you?

    Nope. ~/.profile makes not a blind bit of difference. Chris-at-work suggests using ~/.bashrc , which I’ll certainly give a shot…

    Bizarre. I keep all my PATH stuff in ~/.profile. Is this for stuff you’re doing through the Terminal directly, or for other processes?

    Oh, this is for both. I’d added mysql to the path ages ago; this was to add DarwinPorts.
